    Verified Customer | Posted 08/03/2021
    For calcium imaging in motor neurons and other spinal neurons. 50 micromolar was used to stimulate neuronal cultures for 90 seconds. Time course of cytosolic calcium influx was measured using ratiometric calcium indicator Fura2-AM.

  • Activation of NMDA receptors in outside-out patches
    Name: Anonymous
    Species: Rat
    Assay Type: In Vitro
    Cell Line/Tissue: Hippocampus
    Verified Customer | Posted 10/19/2019
    Should be used instead of glutamate for selective activation of NMDA receptors
    Mixture of 100 microM of glycine + 100 microM NMDA was used to evoke an NMDA receptor response without contamination from other glutamate receptors in outside-out patched excised from hippocampal neurons. NMDA displayed a clear agonist effect, as expected. Easily soluble, no problem if stored in frozen aliquots for more than half a year.
